Exclusive Q & A With Nikita's Aaron Stanford

There may be a few glitches in Shadownet, but Aaron Stanford (Birkhoff) isn’t letting any Nikita secrets slip! The actor remained tight-lipped on any show spoilers. Still, we were stoked for the chance to sit down with him and get in a quickie... interview. Ahem. All we’re saying is, we’d love to see Birkhoff take out some unruly recruits with a ninja sword.

It seems like everyone at Division has a dark past. Can you tell us anything about Birkhoff's background?

I can't actually tell you about anything specific about Birkhoff's past. What I can tell you is this: nobody gets into Division by playing by the rules.

What would you like to see happen to Birkhoff this season? What's yourideal character arc for Birkhoff?

I would like to see Birkhoff get out into the field for any reason whatsoever. He needs some sunlight. He's getting pasty.

Are you a nerd in real life? What's the nerdiest thing you can do?

I like The Lord of The Rings and ninja swords. Does that count? I think yes.
